Without a doubt, Fisher House is the premier nonprofit among these choices. Their mission, financials, and proven results separate them from the other organizations.Response by LTC Jason Strickland made Aug 2 at 2014 8:48 AM2014-08-02T08:48:45-04:002014-08-02T08:48:45-04:00LTC Jason Strickland192299<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="298650" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/298650-sgt-willie-tubbs">SGT Willie Tubbs</a>, I appreciate your enthusiasm and desire to give back to wounded veterans. Thanks for that - as it's extremely important to serve and honor those who have sacrificed for our country.<br />I would like to offer two suggestions. <br />#1 Don't start your own non-profit. Hopefully, this doesn't sound harsh, but the reality is, you're going to be one of tens of thousands who have the same desire and drive; however, lack the necessary resources to be truly effective. Look for an organization that aligns with what you want to do and then see if you can partner in your location.<br />#2 Consider Project Sanctuary or our Texas-based affiliate, Healing our Heroes Project (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.hohproject.org">http://www.hohproject.org</a>) as someone to work with to achieve your desired results.Response by LTC Jason Strickland made Aug 2 at 2014 8:59 AM2014-08-02T08:59:13-04:002014-08-02T08:59:13-04:00SSG Christopher Buck192459<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Honestly, I would have to lean, personally, with the smallest organization. The reasons are two-fold. Firstly, I love al of these organizations, but their individual boards might or might not have the authority to help a specific service-member because of their internal qualification criteria. Secondly, it is my opinion that the profits sharing, sort of, would make the biggest impact. That impact might also allow you to help address the needs of veterans whose qualifications might not fit the predetermined mold.Response by SSG Christopher Buck made Aug 2 at 2014 12:38 PM2014-08-02T12:38:14-04:002014-08-02T12:38:14-04:00PO1 William "Chip" Nagel192463<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>All great causes and I am an easy touch.Response by PO1 William "Chip" Nagel made Aug 2 at 2014 12:40 PM2014-08-02T12:40:57-04:002014-08-02T12:40:57-04:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member192519<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The Fisher House is the only I would donate to since they are very helpful to families of injured service-members. I have heard of "Homes" and "PVA" but don't know much about them. Will never donate to WWP.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 2 at 2014 2:00 PM2014-08-02T14:00:31-04:002014-08-02T14:00:31-04:00SSG Robin Rushlo192524<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>or DAV that is it out of the listResponse by SSG Robin Rushlo made Aug 2 at 2014 2:12 PM2014-08-02T14:12:18-04:002014-08-02T14:12:18-04:00SGT Timothy Byrd192554<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Being a wounded warrior I have seen first hand what WWP does for soldiers & their family.Response by SGT Timothy Byrd made Aug 2 at 2014 2:53 PM2014-08-02T14:53:12-04:002014-08-02T14:53:12-04:00SGT Alicia Brenneis192563<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>They have amazing people.

Another great Veteran's Non-Profit Organization that continues to help and support our Disabled Veterans is the Disabled American Veterans of which I have been a proud lifetime member of since 2010. I devote my time to helping my fellow Disabled Veterans to the best of my ability. I created a website called Disabled Vet Assistance (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.disabledvetassistance.org">http://www.disabledvetassistance.org</a>) to help my fellow Disabled Veterans navigate to the VA Forms site to access the various forms needed for VA Disability Claims, a site that list the many Veteran's Service Organizations that are available to assist Disabled Veterans with their VA Claims and a section for Veterans to request assistance in locating a Veteran's Service Organization near them. I don't charge any fees to assist my fellow Disabled Veterans and any donations that I may receive to my website will go toward the continued work of the Disabled American Veterans. <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">
